The family friendly Main Street Event returns better than ever! This year’s event will take place from noon to 6 p.m. Sept. 21 in Irving’s Heritage District, 217 S. Main St.

Organizers plan to heat things up this year with the Irving Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Hot Sauce Fest. Participants from area restaurants will put their sauces to the test, competing for whose recipe packs the best punch. The contest runs from noon to 5 p.m.

New this year is the Perot Museum Tech Truck. The mobile extension of the Perot Museum brings science, technology, engineering, art and math themed exhibits to children across North Texas. Visitors will have the chance to participate in a number of hands-on activities and lessons.

Organizers also have food vendors, local artisans and a kids’ area for visitors to enjoy. Some other new features include:
